| July 23rd - Red Devil Lounge show |
| We've always had great shows at San Francisco's Red Devil Lounge, so don't miss our headlining slot there next week on Thursday July 31st. Also on the bill are Cervantes, Touch Committee and Solar Powered People. |
| June 11th - NEW DRUMMER and a new show |
| We're extremely excited to welcome drummer Bill Shupp to the band. Bill has a huge amount of experience as a session drummer in LA, working with artists like TRL fave Ashley Parker Angel, 311 frontman Nick Hexum and Irish songstress Gemma Hayes. Bill will be playing his first show with Heathrow on Saturday June 28th at the Rockit Room. |
| February 25th - Featured video and a new show |
| Top entertainment site Alternative Reel has featured a video of Heathrow playing Pink Floyd's "Time" as their video of the week! The site is a major destination for people looking for cutting-edge content with an alternative slant. It has also just been announced that Heathrow will be opening for one of LA's most buzz-worthy artists, Curtis Peoples, at the Rockit Room on Friday March 7th. |
| February 1st - Mick's Farewell Show |
It's with great sadness that we have to announce that our mercurial Australian drummer Mike Rich is leaving the band to pursue new opportunities outside the Bay Area. Although we'll miss his drumming, it's his friendship that will be the biggest loss. We wish him nothing but the greatest success and happiness.
We're hoping that all of Heathrow's fans can join us for one final show with Mike, as we headline at the Red Devil Lounge on Friday February 15th. Also on the bill will be our good friends MiGGs and Smith Point. Let's send Mike off in style! |
| October 26th - Documentary |
| Check out out our bio page to see a 5-minute documentary video about the band. Produced by Kevin Gonzales of 12 Point Productions it features interviews, live footage and a behind the scenes look at the band. |
| October 25th - Headline show in November |
| We just got the great news that we'll be doing a headlining show on Friday November 16th
at the Rockit Room on Clement Street in San Francisco! Joining us on the bill is the tremendous
Tokyo Decadence. Stay tuned for more info about set times, cover charges and the ubiquitous Heathrow Show Gimmick. |

lately, we've actually been working hard on new material, booking shows and planning for 2007. Our first show this year will be a headlining slot at The Rockit Room, in San
Francisco's Richmond District. Joining us on the bill is another fantastic local band, The Hundred Days. Their debut album, released last year, was produced by Jeff Saltzman, who produces The Killers.

October

| July
25th - Back at ya |
| After
some great shows in the first half of the year, we decided it was time
to back into our hidey-hole and write some new songs. We also figured
out how to destroy the recording industry in one fell swoop, and even
booked a new show in San Francisco. So we're hoping you'll join us for
a special industry showcase at Cafe
du Nord on August 16th, as we preview
a whole bunch of new material! More info on the Shows page. |
| April
26th
- More Slims! |
| Anyone
who was at our SOLD OUT Slim's show knows what a huge night it was, so
much so that we're coming back for another go. This time we're sharing
the stage with our old friends MiGGs and the FANTASTIC American
Drag.
We've been looking forward to playing with AD for a long time, and no
better place to do it than at Slim's. Advance tickets are available at
Virtuous. |
| April
6th - Podcasts |
| We're
pleased to say that we've been featured on not just one, but two podcasts
on the new Tower Records podcasting site, Towerpod.com. First off check
out Mo's Planet
Check Rocks Episode 1 where she spins some Heathrow tunes.
Then for a full interview as well as some tunes, take a listen to Misha's
Belly of the Bay Episode 3. |
| March
6th - Slims! |
| It's
taken some work, but we've finally been asked to play legendary SF rock
venue Slims. If you'd like to go,
it's IMPERATIVE you buy the tickets either from the Heathrow
Store or
directly from the band. If you pay on the
door, all that money goes to the promoter, none to the bands. Don't blame
us, we don't make the rules, we just pretend to play by them. This will
undoubtedly be the biggest Heathrow show yet, so we'd love to see all
our friends there! |
